kunlerrry: Yes, I bought it in Lagos and have driven it for the past almost 7 years in Lagos. I can confidently say that it can match almost any tokunbo. My tricks: 1.) I replace parts with OEM specs, using the part number to ensure I get the exact match replacement parts. Occasionally, I have had to buy and ship the parts from the US. 2.) I dont allow "kazeems" do guess work whenever any issue comes up. I have a car scanner, I scan the codes and diagnose properly. This helps me fix the exact issues. 3.) I dont drive rough. So, I rarely have dents on the car. There have been occasions when people have hit me from behind, but nothing major. In traffic, I dont struggle for road; I allow other drivers "chance" me. The only "dents" on it now are marks my son (while playing) made on its body. They are not obvious, you need to get close to the car to see them. 4.) My engine is still super, perhaps due to maintenance. 5.) A lot of people have begged me to sell the car to them but I have refused. They are usually amazed when I tell them the car is almost 7 years old. 6.) I am not a guru in cars, but I have learnt alot of DIY techniques as regards maintenance of this car. 7.) Above all, I pray for God's safety on the road. Just to add: my thermostat is still intact, my fans are not direct (they pick as designed by the manufacturers), I dont use water for my radiator, my radiator is still single cell (I did not change it to double), etc, etc. |
